Acts 25

Paul stands trial before Governor Festus, who succeeds Felix, and faces accusations from Jewish leaders seeking to have him transferred to Jerusalem for a plot to murder him[1][2]. When Festus offers to move the trial to Jerusalem, Paul appeals to Caesar, and Festus grants his request, setting the stage for Paul's appearance before King Agrippa[1][2].
